Types of Disabilities Covered by Social Security Disability Insurance

Social Security disability attorneys in Cleveland help you when you need disability benefits

If you suffer from a disability that affects your ability to earn an income, you may qualify for benefits under Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). However, not all disabilities meet the definition of “disability” as determined by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

At the law firm of Nager, Romaine & Schneiberg Co., L.P.A. (NRS), our disability attorneys help you analyze your disability to determine whether you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. Our lawyers help you understand your options and alleviate the stress of dealing with the SSA by representing you in the application and appeals process.

Disabilities that may qualify for Social Security disability benefits

To qualify for SSDI, you must suffer from a total disability that is expected to last for at least one year, which makes you unable to do the work you did before and unable to adjust to other work, or which results in death. You must also have worked for a certain length of time and paid Social Security taxes to obtain SSDI benefits. Types of disabilities that may qualify for benefits include the following:

Mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and autism

Immune system disorders such as HIV/AIDS, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis

Kidney disease

If your disability is not listed by the SSA, you may still qualify for benefits if your disability prevents you from working.

Testimonials

"I want to thank you for the excellent service you recently provided for our family!"

– Wendy, Aurora, OH

"I would like to thank you and your staff (NRS) for their excellent work resolving my work related injury. You took a difficult case that I thought was hopeless, handled it in the most professional way and saw that I received the maximum benefits. Dealing with the BWC to get medical and monetary benefits while injured is a nightmare. It is so important to have a capable lawyer whom you trust will put your best interest first as your life and future wellbeing is at stake. You did everything a person could hope for. My family and I sincerely thank you."

– Ken, Middleburg Hts. Ohio

“I have been quite impressed with the compassion and understanding, as well as efficiency of communication, with every member of NRS Law Firm. This is a long process/journey, and I have found that Melissa Johnson, Attorney Nager's assistant, has helped me with the reassurance and informative updates she has given to me. I thank each of you very much for all of your assistance through this difficult passage. It is rather discouraging and disappointing to have to "fight" for the care that one should be given. Being injured, on the job, trying to assist another creates much ongoing physical pain, anxiety and stress that one has absolutely no control over. Your advocacy means more than words can say.”– Deb
